“It’s an incredible honor to be named as one of the 26 players on Team Canada’s World Cup roster,” said Doan. “There are some incredible players on the roster and I am thrilled to be a part of such a talented group of players. I have always considered it an honor and a privilege to play for Team Canada and I can’t wait for the tournament to begin.”

Seriously... Doesn't Doan get tired of seeing former teammates in the palyoffs?
IMO he should NOT have re- signed with the Coyotes.

He is still in his mid 20s. In the NHL you don't become a free agent until you are 31. So his only other option would be to hold out until the Coyotes traded him or until age 31.

Sure it would be nice for every NHLer to win the Stanley Cup and have hsi name engraved on it, but other then that this is his job and means of supporting his family -- so why does he care who signs the checks he collects?
